If you aren't ethnically interesting enough, and refuse to get a good spray tan, I predicted there'd be problems.

That said, OC--there could have been something.

The best place for a young fellow is Mom's law school, especially when Mom can get you in easy. --Not that the admissions standards at that place are all that rigid to begin with....

If Mom has connections at a law school, after graduation you can move anywhere you like. At that point you'll have currency in a place like LA....provided you don't make the stupid mistake of putting an earring in your ear.

Oh, God. Maxine Waters aka Weiss is back with her pin-prick insinuations about Althouse and Family.

Much better to imagine if that stick-thin mum with a Central Park vibe is a recent transplant. Maybe she lost her job in the city, and had to move down to Austin. Her daughter is already being groomed to be agile with animals, and a visit to the stable for riding lessons are not far behind.
